To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, GEORGE W. CHEIsTo PHER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing 5 at Paris, in the county of Lamar and State of 5Texas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Medical Compounds,of which the following; is a specification.

My invention relates to a compound for the treatment of diseases of thekidney, rheuma- IO tism, neuralgia, diarrhea, dysentery, cramps,

colic, and pains, and dyspepsia; and it consists in the followingingredients, in about the proportions specified: alcohol, one-fourthgallon spirits of turpentine, one half ounce;

I 5 spirits of camphor, one and onef'ourth ounce; aqua ammonia, two andone-eighth ounces; tincture of opium, two and one'eighth ounces;chloroform, oueiourth ounce; tincture of gin ger, one and one-fourthounce; oil of sassa- 2o t'ras, one and one-fourth ounce; balsam fir,one-fourth ounce; essence of peppermint, one and one-fourth ounce; blackpepper, (powdercd,) one and onel'ourth ounce; oil of origanum, one andone-fourth ounce; tincture 25 of capsicum, one and oneiourthcunce;tincture of guaiacum, one and onefourth ounce; sulphuric ether, one andone-fourth ounce. Said ingredients are mixed together, after which theresulting compound is ready for use.

(No specimens.)

The above-described compound may be used 0 externally to advantage intwo casesneuralgia and rheumatismbut is more especially adapted for useinternally. The preparation is good for the stomach in cases ofsiclrheadache, and in dyspepsiait stimulates the stom- 5 ach to ahealthy action. The kidneys are strengthened, taking away all mucoussecretions that may gather in these organs. The ducts and absorbingvessels of the liver are opened up, and thus gall stone is believed to40 be prevented.

I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent The compound consistingof alcohol, spirits of turpentine, spirits of camphor, aquaammo- 5 nia,tincture of opium, chloroform, tincture of ginger, oil of sassafras,balsam of fir, essence of peppermin oil of black pepper, oil oforiganum, tincture of capsicum, tincture of guaiacum, and sulphuricether, in about the pro- 50 portions specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixedmy signature in presence of two witnesses.

GEORGE WASHINGTON CHRISTOPHER.
